Thanks for choosing two of my song suggestions. Let's start with those, feeling a bit more pressure...

Haven't played the lead too many times, happy to get through SA without strikes

I've played the bass part a few times on SA, a bit disappointed not to nail it this time

My lead on the Joe Walsh still needs some work, feeling ok about the other parts.

Is it just me, or is this the most fun beginner bass chart ever?

That beginner bass chart is way more fun than it has any right to be. Nice change when the "easy" pick still makes you grin instead of zoning out.

That beginner bass chart is ridiculously catchy, way more going on than the usual starter stuff. Joe Walsh lead looks like the one that'll keep stealing runs from me :)

Thanks for the week @robolechuga Some country vibes and good fun 😀

Bass

Have a nice musweek everyone! Thanks for hosting @robolechuga !

Joe Walsh - A Life of Illusion

Billy Squier - Everybody Wants You

Sturgill Simpson - Life Of Sin

The Allman Brothers Band - One Way Out

Metallica - No Remorse

think my score from last week got missed... juuuust edged it

Enjoyed this weeks songs for bass! thanks @robolechuga for comming up with a week such shortnotice and it still being fun!
Neat song, has more fretboard navigation and skipping strings than id imagine a beginner song. I think maybe a 4? I do like more varied basslines though so yea tough to grade

cool song, reminds me of angela from rocksmith 1 2012. a bit on the easy side if you ignore the fhps and dont play with your pinky like it asks you to imo. Could be beginner but ig the slides is what make it int?

Ah this game makes me want to recover my xbox again and pull out rs 2012 out lol. Good to see another 3 to 5 on the fretboard chart pretty neat you found similar charts in short notice. Nothing too complicated here I think it could be intermediate 4.5 although it did feel kinda weird playing it for me.


yeah this one i do think is proper advanced due to speed alone. 6.5/ 6 ( although it was harder than the metalica one for me...so yeah idk)


I think a 7 would be fine but the 7.5 is ok aswell.

Thanks for the week! @robolechuga

Quick testing

3.5/4

I think most of those bends went unrecognized - it kept saying "late." It's hard to achieve a high score, but 4.5 is probably ok.

Fun chart! 6.5/7

For some reason, this Metallica song didn't really stick in my memory before. Difficult soloing, the final sections boost the score through streaks of the same notes. 8/8.5.

Thanks for hosting this week @robolechuga, great selection this week! Just a few songs I sprinkled in this session:

Phenomenal song, might be a (4) though with all the movement this song has on the bass:

Another great classic, feels closer to a (5) to me:

A deeper cut from Metallica, great choice! (7.5) feels perfect with some of the sections this song has:

As a host you really are the most. Thankyou!!
lead & Rhythm scores

Wait a cotton pickin' minute I forgot this one.

cool beg (4) for the solo

also unknown to me, also cool i´d go (5.5)

Hell... what a ride (8) by far easiest sightread of the week for me
